note to self: stronger arms=better babysitter/Momma (Lord willing)

So I realized lately that holding babies is hard. I always tell myself I'm gonna get toned arms...but no...doesn't happen

I think I'm gonna try push-ups even though i think they are so HARD

i think at the very minimum im gonna do 20 a day. Who wants to join me??? :)

ahh finals season...well, as they say nothing worth doing is ever easy...

GOTTA WORK

on a happier note! i love christmas music! i think today was one of those days that i realized i dont sing enough...maybe because i spend a lot of time in the library HAH lets hope it pays off

Crunched for time

This weeks fitness tip: when you're reading a book (or reader, Bible, newspaper, ipad, whatever) stand up. Then keep standing and do a standing leg crunch (pull you right leg and knee up and then lower and then do the same to the left side). ab workout while you read!

next tip: yup one more because i'm just oozing today and because I've had these to share for a while. "The Flamingo". While you're doing any task almost that doesn't require a lot of movement, incorporate a single leg stand. This should help you be aware of your posture and strengthen your core (because tight abs are always good)

happy multitasking! and don't stress if you don't see results right away. I shall leave you with this verse:

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day." 2 Cor 4:16

Just Dance

I need to rave about Cardio Dance at the rsf at 5:45 on Sunday nights. so much FUN. really good way to get a solid hour of cardio in and have tons of fun just moving and de-stressing and working your brain really hard (well i felt like i was working really hard to get all the steps and not bump into people lol)

moves like jagger :)
What are your fun ways to get a good cardio workout?

No. 2

Tip 2: Calf raises
Anywhere you are standing up (like waiting in line at the ATM or grocery store) you can do these. I thought this was a good illustration but you DEFINITELY don't need the heavy weight up top (only if you want to...at the gym not in line at Safeway lol)
I like to do 3 sets of 20 at a time when I'm just standing at work behind the desk or when I'm reading standing up (see below).
Happy raising!
